“I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.”

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) English short-story writer, poet, and novelist

A Dead Statesman
Epitaphs of the War (1914-1918) (1918)
Contesto: I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?
